Personal Narrative: My Experience In My Class

I went into the spring of 2016 semester taking on too much, too many classes, too many hours at work, and too many charity events with my fraternity of sigma tau gamma. I started off thinking that I would be able to take 18 credit hours of school while working anywhere from 20 to 25 hours a week and still find room to attend all of the philanthropy events put on by sigma tau gamma. Simply put, my struggle with the spring of 2016 semester was due to myself taking on too many things at once. My struggle started almost as soon as the semester began.

The classes I failed this year were Biology, Biology Lab, Micro Computer Applications and College Algebra. Since I have failed these classes I will need to retake them, and I will need to earn a C or better to make sure that I will not have to retake them
